🐺🐍🦈🐟🕷️ Meet the Reformed Rogues (Sort of…)

Mr. Wolf and his not-so-bad crew are trying their best to turn over a new leaf. But doing good isn’t always easy — especially when you're famous for being bad. This time, our reformed anti-heroes find themselves dragged out of retirement and thrown into a globe-trotting caper orchestrated by a new group of criminals who might just be even more cunning: The Bad Girls.

Based on Aaron Blabey’s New York Times best-selling book series — which has soared past 30 million copies sold — The Bad Guys 2 promises another clever blend of sharp humor, action, and heartfelt moments.

🗺️ One Last Heist… Or Is It?

Set five years after their last big job, the Bad Guys have tried to walk the straight-and-narrow. But when the Bad Girls hijack their good intentions with an offer they can’t refuse, it’s back to doing what they do best: breaking the rules.
